Geography and the Environment Affinity Society (GEV-AS)

The GEV Affinity Society

In anticipation of our 10-year anniversary, the Department has formed an alumni society–– the Geography and the Environment Affinity Society (GEV-AS)––to commemorate our growth and accomplishments and to reconnect and strengthen ties with our alumni.

During the spring 2017 semester, the department invited six committed alumni to campus and launched this new alumni leader and advisory group to expand on our strategic leadership and also to provide all GEV alumni the opportunity to meaningfully contribute to the Department’s legacy.

The GEV-AS also aims to connect alumni, current students, and faculty through the establishment and maintenance of an alumni network database and an alumni-student mentorship program.
